THE STOCK MARKET, Movement to Advance Prices Makes Material Progress Favorable Out loolt9Yr Corn Crop Haa Its Influ ence on Railroad Stocks. New York, July t. The movement to advance 'prices of stocks made ma terial progress to-day although the rise was not interrupted and was not free from some imposing obstacles in the volume of the selling encountered at some stages of the advance, Con spicuous strength in Individual stocks had a sustaining Influence on the gen eral list The most prominent In stance was he unusually volatile rise of I I- points in U. 8. Steel preferred. Aoms of the hesitation manifest in the movement of railroad stocks was due to the desire to await the appear ance of the government report on the grain crop. The favorable Inter pretation placed on the outlook for corn was visible In the special strength of railroads ' which carry much of that crop, as well as In the weakness-of the price of that rntn; .Reports of a threat on the part of the Erie to cut rates In trunk line terri tory restrained the movement In those stocks. Some of this restraint was thrown off in the latter part of the day when 'the general upward move ment gained considerable force. Ac cumulative Influence was exerted by reports from various sources of trade revival, and the fact that the work of the Democratic convention at Den ver is hearing completion was an ele ment in the awakened activity of the market. Curing the, Anal hour con siderable animation was shown and -substantial gains are shown on the ?day. Bonds were Arm. Total sales par Value $3,091,000. IT. 8. bonds were unchanged on call. Total sales stocks to-day 131,500 shares, including: Copper 21.700; Smelting 4.100; Sugar 100; Ceagt Line 800; C. & O. 5,200; St. Paul 64,600; L. A N. 1.800; N- & W.

More steadiness 'was sljpwn to-day though the weather map and reports showed continued favorable condition. The - market sots as though present prices could not be disturbed ' unless by some accident to the crop. Hol lers have brcn in the ascendant for so - long that nt pre?nt a reaction is more than pmtyurfn and some Wall Street buy - " admitted that the bullish elements are few and are taned upon tho laws of change, but Anything of crop damage 2 would speedily make the chance a sombre reality for the short interest. Hay ward ft Clark's Cotton ICtter,. New Orleans, La., July 8. Spot vales In Clverpool are .Increasing somewhat, the turnover to-day amounting to a to- tal of 6,000 bales. This may be the be ginning of another calling period and ca vities recelvedrather confirm this view. Should spot support again become the leading factor, .the market in general -would get In solidity snd the glaring dis count may attract buying to new crop options.- So much in regard to market prospects abroad.. - And now, as far as this is Is concerned, the pesslstent decline from Mi to ayund a f eants seems to have developed a coun ter current of sentiment which, en lltrle prf'ncatlon will seek a reaction or ad- Vance according to strength of Induce- ; meat, all this, of course. Is only a study - of the' phrsicologtcal aids which with speculation, hwever, must not , be dlare- - garded.
